Hey, did you see that the Maine Library Association's annual conference registration is open? The theme is "Building Stronger Communities for Maine's Next 200 Years"-who doesn't want to learn more about that? But, are you concerned about how to pay? Well, MLA's Scholarship and Loan Committee is here to help with conference grants for four of you! Just go to https://mainelibraries.org and under "Register now!" you'll see a link to grant guidelines and a downloadable application. The deadline is September 20-instructions still say "postmarked by", but, of course, you can email your application to me. Looking forward to seeing you at lovely Sunday River. Also, remember, it's never too soon to be thinking about donating a basket to our basket raffle! ~ Debbie Lozito Chair, Maine Library Association Scholarship and Loan Committee Edythe Dyer Library 269 Main Road North Hampden, Maine 04444 (207)862-3550
